Answer: A. This glass, called a “coupe,” is now out of fashion, since its wide surface area allows bubbles to dissipate. Much better is the long, thin tulip or flute-shaped glass. No word on what or who was the model for that.

So, in this case, the GREAT BIG HINT leads everyone –gently and pleasantly — to the answer and discussion point.

Hint: Cool! Can I choose the wine?

Answer: C. To survive in a vat of wine, you’ll need a gas mask, not a snorkel, since you’ll probably be overcome by noxious gasses. Vineyards and wineries can be dangerous places, so much so that OSHA has released an educational movie title, The Safe Winery.

Definitely an easy question for many wine drinkers.

Hint: Like your face after getting this wrong.

Answer: C. Rosé is made from red grapes without their skins, which contain the color. A good rosé can be tangy, robust, and bone dry. Real men do drink it. Ernest Hemingway downed a bottle of Spanish Rosado at the bull fights every day with lunch, and they don’t call him Papa for nothing.

The Wine Teasers is: Vineyards all over the world often have rosebushes growing at the end of vine rows. What is their purpose?

A: To honor the wine god Bacchus, a rose-loverB: To be an early warning system for fungus and diseaseC: To attract insects away from the vines

Like all Wine Teasers, this question comes with a big hint. If you were actually playing the game, you’d move ahead faster without the hint, but since this game is for beginners as well as wine experts, the hints help keep everyone in the game!

Hint: You should plant one in your shower.

Answer: B. Like the canary in a coal mine, rosebushes, being more susceptible to disease, start looking sickly before vines do. This gives vineyard workers time to treat the vines before it’s too late.
